Abstract ID: 24-136
Purpose
To evaluate the treatment outcome of ocular surface reconstruction with collagen matrix implant in cases of moderate- severe symblepharon
Methods
It is a prospective interventional study of 10 patients of symblepharon secondary to chemical injury sequelae
Results
Demographic data
1. Mean age of patients- 21 years( 10years- 31 years)
2. Laterality- 50% Right eye, 50% Left eye
3. 80% chemical injury sequelae due to chuna particle, 10%- Acid injury, 10%- Cement splash injury
4. 40% Moderate symblepharon, 60% severe symblepharon
5. 100% Males
Mean Pre-Op forniceal depth- 4.4 mm
Mean Post-Op forniceal depth- 9.95 mm
Mean Improvement of forniceal depth- 5.65 mm
Mean percentage improvement of forniceal depth- 97.842%
Excellent results (>75%) – In all the patients
Conclusion
Ocular surface reconstruction with collagen matrix implant is a safe and effective alternative in cases of moderate to severe symblepharon.
